Top Gear Season 22 & Xmas Special

Captain · 8 Mar 2015 at 20:55

This weeks star seems really awkward on camera!

Lol, this racing its nuts.

Enjoyed the episode. Didn't quite get the point of James may racing against the pros but was entertaining to watch.

Vertigo · 8 Mar 2015 at 21:03

Enjoyed the first half but the racing stuff was dull as hell. Watching useless May suck at rally-cross and the only excitement is whether he can avoid being lapped? Yeah riveting.

i would never get bored of that f type shouting. i go through a tunnel every morning as well.

Jonnycoupe · 8 Mar 2015 at 21:51

Soon upsets the neighbours if your up early though!

ZXSpectrum · 8 Mar 2015 at 21:51

Does anyone know how many more episodes are in this series? The reasoning ask is that it's getting close to the release date of Fast and Furious 7 and I would love to see some of the stars on the track.

Vertigo · 8 Mar 2015 at 21:53

Ten in total

didn't quite come out right! I meant the pros racing was entertaining; they are mental!!

Why did Hammond say he went to Humberside to test the mx-5 when it quite clearly......was not Humberside.

I am guessing it was just a joke

Bradmax57 · 8 Mar 2015 at 22:15

Humberside(ish)?

fadetoblack · 9 Mar 2015 at 06:01

Well that was boring this week!

Star in a car this week is meh.

As was most of the show this week.

This is why I watch on Iplayer, skip the STIARPC bit every week and it's a good, entertaining 40m show.

That was the most pathetic ep this series, the boys really need to stop fannying on with car reviews and racing and get back to doing what they are good at.... Arsing about.

Seriously though, it was OK, however, as mentioned above, comparing the low drag GT with 340bhp or so to a GT86 with half the power, when the GT is all about drifting, not acceleration was a bit daft, SIARP was ok actually, the new mad max movie looks good, and apart from JC & RH being knobs in the racing bit, i quite liked the rallycross bit. And yes, that clearly wasn't Humberside lol.

It is?

Oh I forgot, it's RWD, that means its automatically 'all about drifting' right?

Rybo89 · 9 Mar 2015 at 08:15

We both fell asleep. Though we did put it on around 10ish. The F type was just sexy, I would have the V8 and would not get fed up with the sound. (**** the neighbours

)

Think I fell asleep around about then. Worth watching the rest? Any poking fun at Peugeot drivers again?

Conscript · 9 Mar 2015 at 08:21

Good episode I thought. F-Type is cracking both to watch and listen to. Eagle Low Drag is absolutely jaw dropping. Some decent footage of the new MX5. And the rallycross bit was good, if maybe a bit short

That's where you've been going wrong
